A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
Frank Ii. Tanning Gained and
Adorned with Flowers.

Frank Ii. Tanning Gained and
Adorned with Flowers.
Frank B. Tanning, the genial Deputy
County Clerk, was Wednesday evening
the recipient of very pleasant birth
day party, which was rendered to him
by his charming and accomplished
wife, who invited about fifty of their
personal friends. The affair took
place in their spacious rooms in the
Wilson Block, which were very taste
fully decorated for the occasion. By
9 O'Clock most OF the guests had ar
rived, and while Mr.. Tanning was
conversing in the parlor, Col. w. d.
Rogers stepped in and with few
well-chosen remarks presented him
with handsome and costly gold
headed cane, the gift of his wife. The
cane is a very richly mounted one.
On one side is the inscription Frank
B. Fanning;" on the reverse side the
date, November Is, 1887; and on the
front of the handle Mr.. Fanning's ini-
tials, neatly worked in monogram.
He was about to reply to the gift when
he was again presented with fine and
unique set OF drinking-glasses, the
gift of Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Duffin.
Next came a very pretty basket of
flowers from Mrs. Mary Nesbit. Mrs.
Minnie Worth presented large bou-
auet, and Mr.. and Mrs. w. D.
Rogers set of art figures.
Mr.. Tanning was deeply touched by
the many thoughtful tokens, and
thanked the donors for their gifts, as
we'll as those present for their pres
ence on the occasion, which was
given in honor of his SD birthday.
All then adjourned to the dining,
room, where the health of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tanning was pledged. The
guests then adjourned to the cosy hall
in the building, where the following
musical programme was rendered:

Extension" Viewed from Distance.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Baltimore as population center, has been
growing of late in a way which the census reports
do not indicate. The returns of population show
only the number of inhabitants within the legal
jurisdiction of the municipality, but the built up
parts of the city extend beyond that boundary
into what is known as the "Belt," and it is pro-
posed to have the corporate limits so extended as
to take in sufficient territory, not only in Bslti-
more county, but also in Anne Arundel county, to
allow for the future growth of the city. II this
extension should take place, 1t would be equlva-
lent to Phiadelphia's consolidation of 1854, and
would Immediately show Baltimore to be a much
more important place than the mere figures of
nonulation credited to it have heretofore indicated
It would frequently be matter of convenience if
census returns were made of population centers
instead of dealing only with cities. New York,
for example, is population center, which proper
ly includes not only New York city, but Brooklyn,
Jersey City, Hoboken, and various adjacent Cities
Philadelphia is population center, which includes
MANY places not in the consolidated city. The
corporate limits are sometimes entirely too narrow,
as was the case here before consolidation, and is
the case now in Baltimore. All the people living
within fifteen or twenty miles of great city are
for most purposes part of its inhabitants, and a
much more rational idea of the numbers and char
acter of a population center would be given oy
statistics if they disregarded corporate and even
state boundaries, and massed together not only
the inhabitants of great city, but OF the near oy
districts with which it is closely connected IN Its
| industries and social life.

Endurance of Railroad Ties.


The supply of railroad ties is a matter OF grow
ing Importance for the New England farmer, and
certain experiments made at the suggestion OF
Professor Sargent by the Boston and Providence
Railroad have an important bearing on it. Fifty
two ties we're laid in December, 1878, on track
in Boston where the traffic is very heavy, having
"A average of sixty five trains daily. Ten KINDS
of wood were tried, five in the natural state and
five creosoted None of the ties rotted, except one
of the ailantus the others that had to be removed
had been injured by the hammering of the trains
Spruce. hemlock, larch, and Southern pine have
all suffered badly in this way. White oak lasted
we'll, but it holds the spikes so firmly that they
cannot be drawn when the rails haveto be shifted.
Creosoted elm and birch did well, and are to be
recommended. Chestnut was, unfortunately, not
included in the experiment, although it is consid-
cred one of the best woods for ties. The behavior
of the catalpa was one of the most interesting fea
lures of the case; it has been highly spoken OF
for ties on account of its practical
when placed in the soil, and all the ties OF this
wood here tried are still sound, except just under
the rails, where they are crushed nearly to pulp
so as to be of no service whatever for roads Of
heavy traffic.

The Cross and the Crown.

The cross for only day,
The crown forever and aye;
The one for a night that will soon be gone
And one for eternity's glorious morn.
The cross, then, I'll cheerfully bear,
For sorrow for loss or care;
For a moment only the path and the strife,
But through endless ages the crown of life.
The cross till the conflicts done,
The crown when the victory's won;
Nv cross never more remembered above,
While wearing the crown of His matchless love.
His cross I'll never forget,
For marks on His brow are set;
On His precious hands, on His feet and side,
To tell what He bore for the Church, His bride.
My cross I'll think of no more,
But strive for the crown set before;
That ever through ages my song shall be
Of His cross that purchased my crown for me.
The work of redemption done,
His cross and His crown are one;
The crimson and gold will forever blend
In the crown of Jesus, the sinners friend.

In a paper before the Meteorological Society of
London, the Hon. R. Abercromby has shown that
cumulus is the commonest form of clouds in the
tropics cumulo-stratus and cirrostratus in the
Arctic regions. Although the forms are alike, the
prognostic value of and shape is not the same
everywhere, woolly clouds denoting fine weather
in England and rain in Italy.

The curious "canals" on the surface of Mars are
like nothing else known, and still remain unex-
planned. They are seen as nearly straight lines,
and appear like cuttings, with parallel sides, ex-
tending from sea to sea across the planets con-
tinents They are about fifteen miles wide. They
were discovered few years ago by Schiaparelli,
an Italian astronomer, and their existence has
since been confirmed by several other observers.

New Protection for an Orchard.

Some months ago the Messrs. Foulk, who own
a farm in East Bradford, which had been occupied
BY W. H. II. Davis, sent to the farm from Virgin
ia barrel of rattesnakes, which it was said we're
to be let loose in the orchard to keep the boys from
stealing the apples. Mr.. Davis, it appears, did
not exactly fancy having reptiles OF this kind run
nino about the farm while he was on it and kept
them Gagged until Tuesday, when one ofthe Messrs.
Foulk arrived there and ordered the snakes Gre
mated, an order that was obeyed with alacrisy,
mach to the qualification of the neighborhood.

GUARDING THE PRESIDENT.
Lions in the Would-be Assassin's
Path.
From, Tie Ne,0 York Tribune.

From the Net0 York Tribune.
Que of the most puZzling of American
ways the foreigner is the simplicity OF the
highest social life and the case of approach
to the home circle of the President. When
Gen. Arthur was President he was ac-
cushioned to take long horseback rides
about Washington wholly unattended.
The White House sta DIS hack from the
busiest streets in the capital with the gates
always open, and there is a popular i'm
preston TO the effect that anv free-born
American citizen can walk in aud shoot
tue President whenever the spirit moves
him. That is nOtQuite the case, hOweV er.
An officer who has general oversight OF
the Presidential mansion made an expert
ment the other night to test the efficiency
OF the guard. Being thoroughly familiar
with all the highways and byways OF the
White House grounds, he climbed over a
back gate about halt an hour after mid
night, ana picked his way through the
shrubbery. Before he mad gone 100
feet the sharp ''Who goes there!'' of a
Waterman brought him TO a halt. Upon
recognition he was of course allowed to
pass. Under the shadow of the house be
| was again challenged. He tried all the
| Windows and found them locked. Upon
opening the front door as noiseless!y AS
possible he was greeted 10y an usher. Be-
| another usher babe him good morning,
| Within Ne. found the Chief Magistrate in
| the traditI3nRI and appropriate costume,
| his shirt sleeYes,5 Immersed In papers ana
the cares OF state. Thus four lives stood
between the President and any crank
who mighthaye sought the nOtoriety and
the faie of lGniteau.
The men Who framed the White House
had about as Inadequate an idea OF the
strains to which their work was TO be
subjected as did those who framed the
constitution. When the army anu navy
reception was held soon after the insta la
tion OF Mrs. Cleveland in her new home,
the crowd filled the porch, packed the
grand staircase and spread all over the
second floor. Those who were familiar
with the weak rolnts OF the old structure
were on pins and needles. The next day
an examination revealed the justice OF
their fears. The grand staircase had
sagged seven inches al some points and
the floor from four TO five inches. 1t cost
$3.50 TO get the staircase into line again,
and an examination OF the floor beams
showed that some OF them had been sawed
half way through by careless gasmen and
plumbers.
The ways OF people who 20 TO these pub
lie receptions form study in human ma
ture. Some lose their voices altogether
and others experience an accession OF
VOlubtlity that lasts them all the way
down the line and out OF the door. Some
times a carefully prepared speech is per-
petrated. Thus at the reception mentioned
allowed richly dressed woman Hp-
preached Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland evil
IDENTITY loaded aud primed with good
idea. When within range she struck an
attitude and remarked in staccato ac-
cents: "Mav your happiness be rs great
"a your position Is exalted" and march
ed off with the air OF one who has SAID q
good thing and knows it.

The smallest State in EurOpe-slx

which are worked by the SOciete de la
Vieille Montague. In 1915 commission
was appointed to fix the boundary line
between Prussia and the Netherlands,
which was agreed upon on every point
save as regards Moresnet. Each country
claimed the zinc mines, or an adequate
indemnity. 1t was finally resolved to
consider the miserable tract OF land,
which contaIned only fifty sQuahd huts
near the mines, independent and
neutral. Since then the condi-
ton OF the territory has greatly

houses, nice, well-stocked shops, and the
